— The fishing cobles belonging to Filey had, as usual, gone off for the fishing in the early morning of the 22nd February. The wind increased, until about 10.30 A.M.

it was blowing a gale, and six of the cobles were to the northward of the Brigg. As it was realised that they could not reach home without danger to the crews, the Life-boat Hollon the Third was launched and proceeded to them.

The wind continued to increase until a whole gale was blowing, but happily with the assistance of the Life-boat all the cobles were in safety by 2.15 P.M..
